i'm not keeping any of it, the source tag points back to the
original data set and that should be sufficient. if we want
club info, i'd suggest breaking up the relations where
needed and adding the clubs to those rather to the ways.
i don't know that i see a mapping from the AT surface
attributes to our surface tag, and an AT:surface tag would
be largely ignored by OSM users (how many pay any attention
at all to tiger: tags now? i know i look at some of them, but
most people don't.)

we have a long standing habit of keeping attributes that
turn out to not to add any value to OSM. i'm tending to
be very spare about what i carry over these days (usually
nothing).
